I am delighted to have a regular display of my work at the shop, Barbara Boo in Glebe Street , Penarth CF64 1ED. For the month of October I shall be displaying some of my latest art pieces and jewellery at the Silures Art Gallery, 40 South Road , Porthcawl CF36 3DG.

I am an artist working predominantly through flameworking and sandcast glass. Glass has a unique quality unmatched by either painting or traditional sculpture. It is a special material which can be seen through, giving the visual artist the opportunity to describe concepts which would otherwise be ‘impossible’ to demonstrate through other materials. I use glass as an emblematic representation of things or ideas that are pure but precarious, delicate but destructible, eloquent yet elusive.

Kathryn works predominantly in blown glass, concentrating mainly on contemporary vessels and sculptural pieces. Commissions always welcome.
